How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign works on the same basic orthodontic dentistry principles as traditional metal braces. Over time, pressure is applied to teeth to shift them into a new position, eventually straighten them for a perfect smile.

However, the method used to do this is very different for Invisalign. Instead of brackets and wires, which are tightened with every visit to the orthodontist, Invisalign uses a custom-built series of clear plastic aligners, which look similar to a retainer or a sports mouthguard.

These aligners are worn for 22 hours a day, only to be removed when eating, drinking, or brushing. They are changed approximately every 2 weeks. And once every 4 to 6 weeks, you’ll come to the office of Dr. Rupert so he can measure your progress and ensure your smile is on track.

How Long Does Invisalign Take?

Generally, a comprehensive Invisalign plan requires around 20-30 aligners. This places average treatment times at around 9-15 months, though the requirements of each patient will be different.

What Are Benefits Of Invisalign?

Invisalign has a wide variety of benefits that can be very attractive to those who wish to avoid traditional metal braces.

More comfortable and convenient – Invisalign is much more comfortable than traditional braces. The gradual, gentle pressure on your teeth and gums is more even compared to tightened metal braces, so you won’t experience as much discomfort.

You also don’t have to deal with regular tightening appointments. Simply come into Robinson Township Smiles and Dr. Ryan Rupert will examine you, hand you your next set of aligners, and you’ll be on your way!

No food or activity restrictions – Because Invisalign is removable for sports, eating and drinking, you don’t have to change your lifestyle at all. Simply take the trays out during your activity or while eating, and replace them afterward!

Invisible for higher self-confidence – Traditional metal braces can make patients feel embarrassed about their appearance. However, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible to the naked eye. Nobody has to know that you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment!

As you can see, there are quite a few reasons that Invisalign has become so popular among cosmetic dentistry practices.

Adults, teenagers, and children can all benefit from Invisalign. Dr. Ryan Rupert is Invisalign certified, and has years of orthodontic dentistry experience. His knowledge, passion, and expertise make him the perfect choice for Invisalign in Moon and Rennerdale.
